'Take Your Time And Find Your Way', nameless Sings On New Single

The song is titled 'Cross the Line'. It's eletronic, but inspirational and religious.

One wants to say the beat of nameless’ single (‘Cross the Line’) is simple, but that would be simplistic. It’s simple – as in, it’s not a fancy beat, but I guess that’s what one can appreciate about it: it doesn’t draw you away from the song as sometimes fancy beats do; it’s a heavy beat – as in, despite its simplicity, it makes its presence felt throughout the song. Some songs can have their beats changed and still sound nice, but I feel like without the beat we have here, ‘Cross the Line’ wouldn’t sound so nice.

The beat has two main elements I have picked out: it’s bold and heavy kick that can dull your senses into submission, and piercing shapes that can be described as annoying but essential, if you will, and nice if you don’t use them too often.

Having made an attempt at describing the beat, the reviewer has to move to the lyrics.

When I wrote this song

I felt like I belong

Like I could do no wrong

Now I know I’m wrong

nameless delivers these lines in a lethargic way that if he was a hundred percent clear, you’d hear all the words he sings, but credit to him: he’s more audible than most singers.

‘I tried to shrug it off and walk away’, I hear him sing, but is he walking away from the unsatisfactory experience? I’m left curious.  

In the next lines, we hear him employ some impressive double-rhyming.

Take your time and find your way

Say what’s on your mind today

Tomorrow is a new day; cross the line  

‘Sell my pasture to save my friend – yeah!’, nameless sings before that shape we talked about it kicks in.

This gotta be my favourite line on the song. The selflessness it touches on is enough to melt the heart.  

We also have nameless singing

Keep my dreams and hopes in motion

And then, the religious references return

Give me a savior, not a notion

If electronic music is associated with clubbing, ‘Cross the Line’ is not your typical electronic song. It’s inspirational and talks directly to the listener, and talks about religion without saying much. And, while I won’t say much about it also being a self-referential, I should say it is!  

‘Cross the Line’ came out on August 26.
